Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

Last night we celebrated my mom�s birthday, and I was put in charge of dessert. She wanted Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes, her favorite, now, of course, I couldn�t make just a simple Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes, I needed to make it more fun than that. It was the perfect opportunity to try out the surprise cake technique I�ve been seeing all over Pinterest, only in a cupcake.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter are on of my favorite cake/cupcake flavor combos, though isn�t it everyone�s? There�s just something about a moist chocolate cake topped with silky peanut butter buttercream. Did I mention that Reese�s cup on top? Yeah, that makes it pretty good too!

Oh, but the surprise, yeah, that�s the best part! I cored out the cupcakes and filled them with mini Reese�s Pieces.

Awesome, right?

The Reese�s Pieces surprise was a lot of fun, and it would have been an actual surprise if Matt hadn�t told everyone. The Reese�s Pieces added great texture and I�ll never make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes without them again!

SO GOOD!

Plus that creamy peanut butter frosting is pretty damn good too!

So what are you waiting for? Whip up a batch, grab a gallon of milk, and enjoy!
